Women’s writing in the Netherlands before 1900

Thanks to the digitizing project “The International Reception of Women’s Writing” (2004-2007) a large number of Dutch women who wrote and published has been traced: more than 700. A provisional list of names can be consulted in the database WomenWriters: presented in a chronological [1] or in an alphabetical [2] order.

Many of these figures are still enigmatic: archives will be consulted, works will be analyzed; publication of articles will follow. For some others, considered as individuals or per category, online articles are presently being prepared or adapted for new presentation in this website. First publications here will concern:
